Erryn Meets Taylor Lautner!
For those of you who know...Taylor Lautner plays Jacob Black in the Twilight movies...Erryn got to meet him at a signing at a Denver Mall back in November. It was crazy.

End of the Day
We spent the day at the park--it was a glorious day, as you can tell by Erryn and Nick's smiles.
Nick's day at the big game
Nick loves to go to Jake's football games...who could resist playing on the equipment laying around the field?

Abby at the Carnival
Fun pic of Abby at the school carnival--she won this game, but you won't believe the prize--they were giving away little goldfish--live! It was a pretty good gimmick--the child won a real goldfish, and then the small bowl and some starter food was $2 more...pret-ty clever.
Homecoming Week
Morgan doing his 'best James Dean.' The seniors chose the movie 'Grease' as their theme, so Morgan went all out for school spirit.
Jake's Dream Car
We couldn't miss the car show--it only had about 10 cars, but they were SWEEEET! Jake is convinced that Mustangs and Corvettes are the only cars that should exist.

Life after Summer
I love summertime--I seriously, actually, literally, and sincerely love having my kids home for the summer! I go through withdrawals for the first few weeks of school each fall. This summer was packed full, as usual, and the school year will be packed just a full...
Jake has hit the football field running. He lives for football. It is also his first year of high school, and he is excited for the big life--classes, football, and cute girls. What else is there? Oh, he has started playing piano, and he likes it, no kidding.
Morgan is a senior and love it--he rules the school--he is taking a gazillion AP courses and will be a very, very, very busy boy. He expects to throw in his job, video games, and dating into that pot o' fun...
Abby just started 4th grade AND the viola! She is walking on the clouds with this viola. She absolutely loves it. She has some good friends, and she loves acting--unless she has a audience. She gets that from me...the mama.
Jason is on break from BYUI, he goes back in January. He will be working full time and living here for the next few months. He loves being back in the old neighborhood with the old gang.
Erryn is a junior this year, but she says there just aren't any boys worth dating right now. We aren't complaining at alllllll. She lives for volleyball, but opted out of it this season so that she could get a job. She wants to start saving some serious money for college and a mission--and babysitting just isn't letting her rack up the cash fast enough. She is in two performance groups (they have been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall next year! They performed in DC last spring) and is excited for the plays and musicals lined up for this year--Dracula, Kiss Me Kate, Taming of the Shrew, and Guys and Dolls--looks like a very entertaining year--I'm pretty sure the school district knows Kiss Me Kate and the Taming of the Shrew are essentially the same story...good times! Erryn spent a lot of the summer volunteering as an assistant coach at the Rec Center--she coached track and volleyball for little kids--she loved it.
You are looking at the new Personal Progress Leader for our ward's Young Women! I am having so much fun with this calling, and the girls are just incredible. Clint is having the time of his life working in the nursery! He loves it, especially after a pretty long gig in the bishopric...
That's enough for now--celebrate the beginning of the new season! Clint and I absolutely love FALL!

FHE!
The Walker's present FHE! This was our opening song, Book of Mormon Stories, so I'm not sure what Jake's was looking at...and our sweet dog, Cooper, wanted in on the fun!
Alma and Korihor
I explained that we would be studying the story of Korihor by performing a reader's theater. Erryn, looking a little perplexed, was the narrator, Jake was Korihor, and Nick was Spider Man. Of course, there were other parts, Morgan was Alma, Abby was Giddonah, and I was the photographer. The sun was going down, but we still had fun! I wonder what the neighbors thought...I had tried to find a 'script' of Korihor's adventures, but had no luck, so I made my own. It was the scripture story verbatim, so we just let loose as we acted out the story in scripture language!
Korihor Preaches
Korihor tried to teach the people that God did not exist, that Christ was not coming to the earth, and that the prophets were leading them astray.
Alma
Korihor is brought to Alma, the chief judge, and Alma explains the truths of God and Christ, our Savior.
Korihor is struck dumb
Korihor asks Alma to give him a sign that God exists...Korihor is struck dumb, never to speak again.
FHE
I couldn't resist--this photo is worthy of a professional framing! After we played for a while, we came inside for treats and a discussion. All the kids had something to say about what they learned. It was great to talk about the story and what we can learn from it.
